Turkey navy to escort aid ships to Palestinians in Gaza

[Meengla]

why is turkey going mad these days they are getting into a very dangerous thing

Yes, Turkey is playing with fire here. It is not that militarily Turkey cannot face Israel. It is the damage to Turkey's reputation, its economy, its tourism, which can be swiftly inflicted upon Turkey through Israel's proxies in America. Due to the dominance of American media it will take but a few months of sustained media 'leaks' and 'focus on Turkey' to make Turkey look like another 'dangerous' place. Already there is a report that no less than the Deputy Speaker of Israeli Knesset is asking Clinton to declare Turkey as a 'state which sponsors terrorism' because Turkey-Iran links.

turkey may just be the match fire needed for a big blood bath in that region and you dont know who all may get involved in this

This worries me to be honest. Last thing we want is another big war, this time a very serious one, in the Middle-East.

Very provocative measures being taken by Turkey.

Whatever, but we can't deny the facts that Palestinians are suffering and Hamas is the result of that suffering.

so the palestinians didnt suffer before 1987, cuz thats when hamas was founded. get your facts straight

Indians are pro-India.

This is nothing more than posturing. Turkey lacks the ability to engage Israel in military conflict.

how can you say that? turkey has alot of experience in war. They have faught many with the greeks and what makes you think israel has the edge over turkey?

 

[harpoon]

The real question is whether the Turkish Military will play along their Islamic leaning Turkish Govt and confront Israel which is one of their biggest allies and source of high end technology ?

I believe that Turkey just wants to huff and puff, i don`t think they are foolish enough to engage Israel militarily.

AKP is doing their best to take every shred of power the secular Turkish military has.

Yes, but this 'huff and puff' can affect the lives of untold number of people in the world. Turkey should not provide any escort to any aid-ships going to Gaza. It achieves nothing but inflames the region.
Gaza and its blockage are intrinsically tied with the West Bank. My understanding is that the issues between Israel-Palestinians are boiling down to minute details about an eventual Palestinian 'demilitarized' State. Gaza will calm down when W. Bank is calmed down.
Why ruin all this after being so close? The region has great potential as 'United States of the Middle East' where Israel can be the true technological leader living in peace.

Technology and external Support...

Personally I am tired of this conflict. Palestinians/Muslim countries must accept that Israel is here to stay. Israel should return all the land it captured in 1965.

if tomorrow there was a war to break out do you think india will get involved

No unless getting involved means showing disapproval.

The Turkish Military is just keeping quiet so that Turkey's application for EU membership is not jeopardized.
